Progress Report # 124-128

This is how the Ficus religiosa looks today, Dec 17th, 2021. This tree has been planted here almost a full 11 years ago on April 17th, 2011. The growth is extremely slow, but it receives steady excellent care as can be seen by inspecting the fine details of the photo.

Again, the stubbornly long lasting and unpredictable Covid 19 prevents regular care of this area and it remains overwhelmed by weedy growth. Will this virus ever go away?

Progress Report # 122-123

Covid-19 is still lingering around and now we are already in 2021. This area is again ovewhelmed by the widly growing weed brought on by a very wet start of hurricane season 2021. It rains on and off for many weeks, and the weed is knee high! The Ficus religiosa is doing well and hopefully the maintenance crew will get to this area soon.

The world wide pandemic Covid-19 has created havoc around the world. I only come to visit this tree sporadically. Fortunately, work around the Montgomery Botanical Center continues and care is given to this Ficus religiosa regularly. It is doing well and looks very healthy. Thank you, Joel. I came here today and gave this precious tree a well deserved watering for a good 30 minutes... It is hard to believe that this tree is here since Arpil 17th, 2011, 10 years and 1 month ago. As Marcel Proust eloquently said: "À la recherche du temps perdu." Where did the time go?
